Transgrancanaria is a race Chris fancied having a look at since watching some coverage last year; the scenery looked amazing, the weather was warm and it looked like a good day out. 

TORQ Performance Triathlon Team’s Nick Shasha fought off some of Europe’s best with brilliant runs at the European Sprint Duathlon Championships in Kalkar, Germany, only being nudged into 4th place by some demon cycling rivals…

A sizzling first run saw Nick taking over a minute out of most of the field, and although he lost several places on the bike to some demon time trialists, his second run redressed some of the balance bringing him to a finish just shy of the podium in 4th place. 

TORQ Performance triathlete, Chris Standidge, maintained his winning streak with another Gold, TORQ Ambassador Beth Hughes ran to win a brilliant Gold, Alex Lawton took Silver and Dave Mawhinney podiumed with Bronze in Age Group; a very nice medal tally for the TORQ team at the Chirk Triathlon, where the racing was seriously tight and seconds made a big difference…

Chirk is nearly always Chris Standidge’s Triathlon season opener, and he was chasing his 5th win in a row and 6th win in 7 years. 

Congratulations to TORQ Performance Triathlon Team’s Emma Lamont, who opened her season with a convincing Silver at East Fife Triathlon. 

Ultra Endurance Cyclist, Josh Ibbett, famous for winning the gruelling Transcontinental Race 2015, during which he covered 2,600 Miles in under 10 days, on less than 3 hours sleep a night, returns as TORQ Ambassador. 

Iain Robertson battled through the mud to win Silver in Age Group, while Nick Shasha raced in the Elite/Professional category of the British Duathlon Championships at Windsor. 

Joe recently featured on the front cover of 220 Triathlon Magazine and in a Q and A article told readers about his inspiration, motivation and training. 

Ironman athlete Joe Skipper cycled, swam and ran his way to a stunning Silver in just 8:09:37 at Taupo, New Zealand…     Competing against a field of tough, quality rivals, Joe fought his way through to a well earned Silver Medal, spurred on by not only the need to push himself as hard as he possibly could regardless of the pain, but also the thought of a few dollars more! 

When first offered the chance to join a friend in Mallorca for 6 days of training, Kate was reluctant, not wanting to disrupt her training and work too much with travel. 

From the age of 5 Steve represented Great Yarmouth in swimming, moving all the way up through to the National Squad where he became County and Regional Champion until, at the age of 12, running entered his life. 

Stu Robinson races IAAF World Half Marathon Championships in Cardiff, proudly sporting his England vest, then runs on to be crowned a Northern Champion…

It was an honour for Stuart to represent England once again and earn another National vest at this race on Saturday 26th March, which was televised. 

With over 330m of climbing on each 11 mile lap, the Buxton Mountain Time Trial was always going to be a real test of how well Mark’s winter training had (or had not) gone.
